Every time I call my Senators I get the same message!....

[Catamount]

Here in WA, both Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell's mailboxes are full! "Thank you and goodbye"!
I've emailed them repeatedly to fight the Alito appointment, is there anything else I can do?

[LisaM]

1. Thanks. I was just about to call.

I guess I'll try the DC offices.

[Catamount]

2. Let me know if you get through, please!

Thanks

[rucky]

3. FAX them.

that way they see it right away, and it's already on paper.

4. You tried those toll free numbers?

I got aides but I was able to leave a message. Don't think it was really "left" but I said my piece.
888-818-6641 and 888-355-3588.

[Catamount]

5. They're the same #'s that gave me my message!

[LynneSin]

6. You know, that's not a bad thing

That means everyone is contacting them and telling them what they think!

[Catamount]

8. Yes indeed, but I heard that they're not conviced that Alito should be

objected to !
I guess I'll keep on trying.
:mad:

[sojourner]

7. FAX them...

[Catamount]

9. OK! I will!

[gratuitous]

10. Telegram?

Seriously. Or a hand-written letter.

[Catamount]

14. Do Telegrams still exist? I don't think I've sent one in 16 years!

How does one do it these days?

[gratuitous]

17. Same as always

20. Thanks, I've only lived in the USA for 16 years....and in Oz one did it

through the phone cos.

[gratuitous]

21. Ah, that explains why you hate America and its freedoms so much

:hi:

Good luck with contacting your congress critters!

[Catamount]

24. LOL...I'm going to bed smiling and dreaming of my former....

home, with its swaying palms, beaches and all the lovely policemen on their horses, separating the rioting factions!
:crazy:

[baby_mouse]

11. Potentially you could picket the office and hand deliver a letter. nt

[LisaM]

12. I'm at work and can't really fax....

I pay for my own outgoing calls here, so that's okay.

[LisaM]

13. I got through to Murray's office (local) no problem

they answered the phone on the first ring, and took down my "vote" - clearly they are being barraged with calls. I also mentioned that I supported a filibuster.

I called Cantwell's DC office and was able to leave a voicemail (vs. being on hold for a while.)

[Catamount]

15. Can you give those numbers please?

Thanks

[LisaM]

18. I just went to their websites

www.cantwell.senate.gov

www.murray.senate.gov

and clicked on the contact link.

[Catamount]

23. Thanks LisaM

I've emailed again and am phoning now!

16. Snail mail em and tell em you'll remember them at voting time.

if that's how important you are that they can't afford to keep their mail boxes from being overloaded

[Catamount]

19. Good point!

But when is the deadline for the Alito vote?

[0007]

22. Over night it, register it make em sign
